I'm working on it now. I have rather long days on Monday and Tuesday which keep me otherwise occupied and away from Git work. Hopefully I'll have something sometime on Wednesday, which so far I have all day free for hacking.

Smaller mmap units may help on some larger projects. For example 'git whatchanged' shouldn't need to setup page table entries for the entire pack file when only the front and middle are needed to obtain the data for the most recent 25 commits, before the user kills the pager.

But that's just me pulling words out of the air. I'm tired too, time to catch a few hours of sleep. Probably by the time I get back to my email our local kernel hackers will tell me how wrong I am.
